> Dissertation Reviews (www.dissertationreviews.org) is a web platform
> featuring friendly, non-critical overviews of recently defended Ph.D.
> dissertations. Each review provides a summary of the author's main
> arguments, the particular scholarly conversation in which s/he is
> engaging,
> and the main source bases for the research. By focusing on the window of
> time between dissertation defense and first book publication, our goal is
> to offer scholars a glimpse of the immediate present of each field. Such
> awareness, we feel, leads to more dynamic, informed, collegial, and
> innovative scholarly communities.
